I've just signed up for a dedicated Linux server with eukhost and thought it might be fun to post about my experience of setting it up in the hope that it may help others in the future and those more experienced might cast their wisdom over it.A bit about me; I'm a software developer of 20 years experience, almost all Windows based C++ - tho I do a small amount of cross-platform development these days. First and only experience of installing/configuring Linux was back in 1998/9 with an Intel 486 and Kernels 2.0/2.2.. just basic installation on a home PC.
